It is that time of the year again! One of my very favorite things to do at the end of every year is go through my analytics and pick out the top 10 posts that I added to my website for the year. I love to see what posts you (my readers) seem to enjoy the most. Helps me to evaluate the content that I create. Some of these posts surprise me but others just make sense with how 2020 unfolded!
Top 10 Posts Of 2020
1. 2020 Binge Worthy Series
This is not a surprise to me at all…what else did we have to do during 2020 besides finding a great series to binge watch? For 2020 I am presented my list a bit different. Instead of focusing just on Netlfix, I shared 20 Binge Worthy Series found on any network or streaming channel! A huge hit with my returning and new visitors!
2. Ideas For A Virtual Girls Night

3. Reasons Every Woman Needs A Boudoir Session
This post was super therapeutic to share with you all but also put me way outside of my comfort zone. After seeing the pageviews tick on this one, it was clear it was a subject that needed to be shared and discussed! This is a bit of a different article for me to write and I sat on how to present it for weeks but decided I had to share this because dang it…we all deserve to feel what I feel after having my first Boudoir session. While these photos make me incredibly proud and amazing, this is a very personal share for me. I appreciate your professional and kind responses as you read through this article.
4. Recipe Journal – Spaghetti Pie
I had the opportunity to work on a project for a newly released Family Cookbook Recipe Journal. Our recipes preserve memories of food, family and friendship. This Family Cookbook Recipe Journal is a blank recipe journal perfect for a family keepsake to collect all of your favorite recipes. Along with sharing this great gift idea, I shared a family recipe that is delicious! Spaghetti Pie! Spaghetti Pie is a favorite in my family. A traditional spaghetti night with a twist. Spaghetti in a pie dish, baked to perfection!
5. What To Expect At Your Boudoir Photo Session
After I shared the reasons every woman needs a boudoir session, it was clear that this discussion needed to go further! I followed up my initial boudoir article with a second one all about what to expect because I know that I was wondering what I was walking into as I booked my first session. It is completely normal to have some anxiety over what to expect when going to your Boudoir photo session, but what helps is going into the session with some idea of what to expect!
6. Cracker Barrel Copycat Hashbrown Casserole
YUM! I must admit, this was a delicious recipe to recreate and it tastes just like the real thing! One of my very favorite dishes at Cracker Barrel is the Hashbrown Casserole. I decided to try my own version of this family favorite and I think I mastered this dish, lucky for you, it is pretty easy too! I love trying copycat recipes and this yummy Copycat Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole is one you must taste!
7. Printable Chore Chart For Kids
I think this was a top read in 2020 because we all found ourselves at home more often. The kids are stir crazy, school is in session at home, the kitchen is in use non-stop and the weekly chores are becoming more like daily chores with the pandemic lifestyle. To keep the kids invested in their own space and on track with chores I decided to use this Printable Chore Chart and Reward Bucks. Might as well use this time to create some new habits and find Age Appropriate Chores.
